Bernarr Macfadden is one of history's more colourful characters, and reading his life story is certainly highly entertaining! Born to poverty-stricken parents in Missouri, he was an orphan by 11. Eventually applying to a farm work program in Illinois, he developed an interest in physical culture and health that went on to spawn a New York publishing empire, ranging from early bodybuilder magazines through to books about health and physical wellbeing.
